standalone titles in Bloomsbury's contemporary If Only romance line centered around
an impossible problem: you always want
what you can't have!

Brie Carter's father's land development business has taken her family all over
the world, but as soon as they arrive at their new home in Lost Spring,
Wyoming, the town turns out to protest. They don't want a new hotel if the
resident mustang population will be displaced or hurt as part of the deal. Then
Brie meets Logan, a gorgeous local who has a special connection to the
mustangs, and she is immediately drawn to him . . . and the horses. However,
with Logan's father leading the protests and Brie's father refusing to budge,
it's clear that their parents are heading towards an all-out war. Can Brie and
Logan find a way to save the mustangs and be together? Or is their love doomed
from the start?

This new title in the If Only line is the perfect summer read and proves that
love flourishes in the wildest places!

From Kirkus Reviews:

Brie is used to constant travel; she's not accustomed to caring passionately about a cause—or a young man. Brie's dad is a land developer, so they move from place to place worldwide. Home-schooled, Brie has never made attachments. When she and her parents move to a one-main-street town in Wyoming, the welcome is frosty, as its citizens protest the uprooting of the wild mustangs for the hotel Brie's dad is building. The loudest opponent is the father of a handsome, kind, cowboy-hatted boy named Logan. This quickly becomes more than a budding romance between Brie and Logan, as they take up the cause to create a sanctuary for the mustangs. She finds within herself a stirring love for the horses and a deep desire to do something good. However, caught in the middle of the heated battle, this is the first time Brie has contradicted her father and the first time she's fallen in love. Burkhart's uncluttered prose easily develops both characters and complications, making for a smooth-reading romance. Each chapter is headed with a pithy quote—"Cowboy proverb: The bigger the buckle, the better the cowboy"—lending light wisdom to the tale.This inspiring look at the plight of undomesticated landscape and wildlife nestled in a tender romance is a surprisingly sweet and resonant story. (Fiction. 12-18)

When Sasha Silver and her horse, Charm, arrive on the campus of the elite Canterwood Crest Academy, Sasha knows that she's in trouble. She's not exactly welcomed with open arms. One group of girls in particular is used to being the best, the brightest, and the prettiest on the team, and when Sasha shows her skills in the arena, the girls' claws come out.

Sasha is determined to prove that she belongs at Canterwood. Will she rise to the occasion and make the advanced team by the end of her first semester? Or will the pressure send Sasha packing?

But every girl knows that there can only be one "best."
Can Sasha keep the girls from turning the arena into a war zone and still snag a spot on the coveted Youth Equestrian National Team?

Sasha
is with Eric. Callie is with Jacob. And Callie and Sasha are finally
BFFsagain. Life is as perfect as it's ever been at Canterwood.

So
when Sasha learns of a secret that could destroy all of her
relationships,she's willing to tell a few white lies to keep everything
from falling apart. After all, white lies aren't supposed to hurt
anyone....

If the girls have learned anything, it's that only the strong survive
at Canterwood Crest Academy. Just ask Jasmine.... Oh, whoops. You can't
-- she's back at Wellington Prep. Well, then, ask Heather Fox. After
all, she's the lone Queen Bee left standing.

But Sasha Silver has more than proven that she's worthy competition on -- and off -- the arena. Is there a new queen in the making?

Sasha is in New York City for break, just like she’d
planned. What she hadn’t planned was that she’d be staying with Heather Fox in
her Park Avenue penthouse, and spending her time shopping, riding, and (could
it be?) having a blast.

Is Sasha getting caught in a web only the Queen of
Canterwood could weave?

It seems that Sasha Silver has become the hottest new thing since the Mulleavy sisters' spring line. The Trio has welcomed her with open arms, a popular new girl has tagged Sasha as her insta-BFF and she's the fiercest she's ever been in the arena.

Now if she could only figure out a way to deal with her old friends Paige and Callie and that boy she's sorta-kinda-always liked . . .

Things are coming to a boil at the elite Canterwood Crest Academy. Lies have been revealed, lines have been crossed, and now . . . an anonymous tell-all blog featuring Sasha & Co. is turning secrets into campus-wide scandal.

So who's the hater? The girl with everything to lose, or the girl who ha already lost it all?

Sasha Silver has got it all-a hot boyfriend, a place on the YENT, and
the perfect BFF. But Sasha gets a surprise blast from the past when
Lauren Towers, a superstar rider from Sasha's hometown, enrolls at
Canterwood. Will Lauren become Sasha's friend or her stylish, gorgeous,
boy-magnet foe?

Lauren
Towers has always had one dream: to be a professional equestrian,
competing with the best of the best. Natch, she's applied for a highly
coveted spot at Canterwood Crest Academy.

But
while she waits to see if she gets in, Lauren is left contemplating her
life in Union, Connecticut and the horrible accident that brought herthere. Suddenly, Lauren is left wondering: even if she does get into
Canterwood, will her past make her stronger or will it stand in the way
of her future as an equestrian for good?

Practice time’s running out. Lauren’s battling a case of trés serious nerves and is spending every second in the arena. Her first show since the accident is approaching. Fast. But her practice time is cut shockingly short. Will she be ready to reclaim her superstar show status? Or will she and Whisper falter before they enter the ring?

It wouldn’t be Canterwood without a healthy dose of jealousy. But one girl’s healthy is another girl’s headache and Lauren is about to get the world’s biggest migraine. Just when the dust had finally begun to settle, Lauren’s past is suddenly in her present. And she must remember that at Canterwood? Nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

The intermediate team rankings are falling into place—in Lauren’s favor. Then blond, beautiful foreign exchange student, Carina, arrives and dazzles everyone. Except LT. Carina’s in go-mode because of an upcoming show and everyone’s nerves are frayed. Lauren & Crew better be ready to fight—Carina’s in position to steal the spotlight.

Lauren’s BFFs, BFs, former friends, and foes alike are hitching a sleigh ride to her hometown in Union, Connecticut…which also happens to be home to Sasha Silver, one of the best equestrians in Canterwood history.

Once there, Lauren, Sasha, all their friends, and frenemies find themselves one place they thought they’d never be—on the same team! Call it a truce or a Christmas miracle, but everyone gets in the holiday spirit to help heal retired racehorses—a cause they all believe in more than Santa himself.

Get ready to watch the reindeer fly! Lauren & Co. will be unwrapping more drama, joy, secrets, and of course, competition, than ever before. Whose stockings will be filled with candy cane lip gloss and whose will be filled with coal?

Joyeaux Noelle, everyone!

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS will be the final* book in the Canterwood Crest series.
